calls last month, a slight increase over the 86 received during November, 1991.

The figures include special services assistance, where the Fire Service helps with floodings, rescues, road traffic accidents, roof coverings, boat sinkings and other non-fire humanitarian services.

Of the five road traffic accidents attended during November, two required hydraulic rescue cutting equipment ot free casualties from vehicle wreckage.

Fire personnel responded to four gas cylinder leaks and four cases of flooding -- the worst of which caused $80,000 in damages.

St. George's Parish had the least number of calls for the month with two.

The City of Hamilton and Pembroke had the dubious honour of being tied for the top spot with 17 emergencies each.
